Thanks, Vincent Weber

FYI, there was a missing keybuf.com, which you can download here
Without keybuf.com, paste from clipboard to emu71 does not work.

I had setup DosBox using below steps, on my Window7 laptop.

1. download DosBox, copy to directory c:\dosbox
2. md c:\dosbox\dos
3. md c:\dosbox\dos\emu71, copy all emu71 stuff into it.
4. download keybuf.com, place into c:\dosbox\dos\emu71

5. edit c:\dosbox\dosbox.conf

[cpu] section:
<core=auto
>core=dynamic
< cycles=auto
> cycles=max 50%

[autoexec] section, add this:
> mount c c:\dosbox\dos
> c:
> emu71\keybuf.com 2048

Setup is now complete, but I add these for convenience.

6. create c:\dosbox\dos\go.bat

@echo off
cd \%1
%1

7. From file manager, right click DosBox.exe, click Create Shortcut
8. Drag the shortcut to Windows Desktop, rename it DosBox
9. Right Click the shortcut, add Short-cut key Ctrl-Alt-B

To run emu71, keyed Ctrl-Alt-B, then type "go emu71"

DosBox right-click for *both* copy/paste operation maybe a mistake.
Any mouse movement activated the copy clipboard operation.

This force the user to grab the mouse *tight*, when pasting.
(slight mouse movement will loss stored clipboard content)

Luckily, DosBox had a keyboard shortcut for clipboard paste: Alt-F10
